About Cooked onion

Cooked onions are a flavorful and versatile ingredient found in cuisines worldwide, from French soups to Indian curries. When sautéed, caramelized, or roasted, their natural sugars transform, creating a rich, sweet flavor that enhances countless dishes. Nutritionally, cooked onions are low in calories and contain vitamins C and B6, as well as minerals like potassium and manganese. They are rich in antioxidants, including quercetin, which supports heart health and has anti-inflammatory properties. Cooking onions diminishes their sulfur content—a compound linked to unique health benefits but also their pungent raw flavor—making them easier to digest for some individuals. Although they contribute to a dish's flavor without excessive fat or cholesterol, pairing onions with butter, oil, or other rich ingredients can raise calorie and fat content. Whether caramelized or slow-cooked, onions add depth to recipes while offering a modest boost of nutrients.
